Of all the large narratives still churning in the political ether these days, the fight for electoral security continues to produce some of the most heated narratives that we’ve seen.
Republican lawmakers around the nation have been working to tighten voting regulations across the board after the security of the 2020 election became a hot topic of conversation. They claim that voter fraud is an issue that could affect any and all elections for years to come, and their hope it to get out ahead of that.
The Democrats, however, have suggested that this electoral integrity stance is merely a ploy to disenfranchise voters in predominately Democratic districts, alleging that voter fraud is not a prevalent enough issue for this response.
This week, former President Barack Obama weighed in on the debate, and his comments are causing him to take serious heat.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Former President Barack Obama slammed Republicans as “systematically” trying to prevent Americans from voting in a campaign speech for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.
“All across the country, Democrats are trying to make it easier to vote, not make it harder to vote, and push back on Republicans who are trying to systematically prevent ordinary citizens from making their voices heard,” Obama said Saturday in Richmond.
“You have to ask yourself, why is it Republicans don’t want you to vote?” he asked.
Glenn Youngkin, the candidate running against McAuliffe, fired back at the former Commander in Chief through a spokesperson.
“Glenn has addressed this multiple times before Obama came to Virginia to bail Terry out, but instead of writing a story about the former President’s false statements, the press is indulging Terry’s fantasies and lies because he can’t run on his failed record and radical vision for the future,” Youngkin spokesperson Christian Martinez told Fox News.
Obama’s office did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on his comments.
